Priest, King and Prophet – A Contemplation by Dennis Tuuri(with modifications)Prophet, priest and king, this is the order of the offices of Jesus that is most familiar to us, andwhich is followed by the Catechism. And from one perspective, this order is good and proper.The prophets in the Old Testament anointed both priests and kings. But from another perspectivethe order in our title, “priest, king and prophet” is also true.Consider, for instance, the general flow of the Old Testament books of the English bible. Webegin with the priestly books (the Pentateuch), then move to the kingly books and conclude withthe prophetic books.To consider the value of this order, we need to think a little about what these offices are, and howthey function in the bible. But before we begin, a note of caution is in order. What follows are nothard and fast categories. Jesus Christ is not three officers; he is one person whose work can beseen from these three perspectives or emphases. Having said that, it is advantageous to look atthese three distinct offices of the Bible, with a view to seeing how they might be distinguishedone from another.We start with the priest. The priest does precisely what he is told to do. Leviticus, the mostobvious priestly book of the Old Testament, is a series of divine speeches. The priests are notsupposed to figure out what to do – they simply follow the detailed set of instructions that theyare given. The priest’s focal point for his labor is the worship environment at the center of aculture. From one perspective, the priest is a representative of the Father, whose specificdirections the priest follows.The king, on the other hand, has to know how to take the general equity of the laws provided byGod in one historical circumstance and make application to their specific context. They engage ina set of specific actions to enforce the equity of God’s law and serve the people of their kingdom.The book of Proverbs is given to instruct a prince in how to become a king. This takes wisdom,not simply following a set of laws woodenly. (By the way, much of the debate over “theonomy”resulted, in my opinion, from a misunderstanding of the manner in which kings reign. Kingsalways had to apply a set of laws in a wise fashion. No theonomist worth his salt ever thought thatthe civil ruler was to apply, for instance, the case laws of Exodus 20-23 in a wooden unthinkingfashion. The king was not a priest.) The focal point of the king’s labor is his own land – thosewithin his specific jurisdiction. From one perspective, the King is a representation of the Son,who is King Jesus, ruling His people through service.The prophet goes one step further. While the priest serves by acting in particular specific waysand the king serves by making judicial determinations in wisdom, the prophet advances theculture by means of his speech. The prophet speaks into the historical condition and by his Spiritempowered tongue, brings a new historical situation into existence. He accomplishes this bymeans of language. His is not the preservative kingly function of civil order, but the function ofadvancing the culture in an increasing maturity and godliness. His focal point of labor is theworld. He is a representation of the Spirit’s calling the world to worship the Son.3

The priest listens with his ear so that he might obey, the king acts with his hand that he mightserve his people in love and the prophet speaks with his mouth that the world might betransformed and go from glory to glory.This pattern of office can be seen in the general history of Old Testament Israel. From Moses toDavid to Daniel, Israel seemed to move through a progression of emphases. First, the priestlyperiod going from Moses to Saul, then a kingly period going from Saul to the Exile, and finally aprophetic period from the Exile to the time of our Savior. Israel began with a stress on sanctuaryservice, then moved to ruling well in her own country and finally became the advisor to thenations.Now, some may point to the life of the greater Israel, Jesus, as the basis for the order of prophetfirst, then priest and king. After all, one could reason, Jesus began with a teaching ministry, thenserved as both priest and sacrifice on the cross, and was then enthroned as King of Kings. But atleast in the gospel of John, we see the order I have suggested above.Over and over in the climactic fourth gospel, Jesus tells us that He is not acting of His owninitiative, but He is obeying the Father in his earthly minister.Jn 8:28 “I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.”Jn 8:29 “I always do those things that please Him.”Jn 14:31 “as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do.”Jn 5:19 “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees theFather do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.”As the priest hears and obeys, so does Jesus in the record of his earthly ministry in John’s gospel.And from John’s perspective, Christ on the cross is more king than priest. From the cross, Jesusdispenses gifts, exercises sovereignty over both Pilate and the soldiers, and culminates His workwith a victor’s cry of “It is finished!” The Servant-King brings the community of the Church intobeing through his kingly labors on the cross.Finally, John’s gospel concludes with the gift of the empowering Holy Spirit being breathed intothe disciples so that they might be sent forth to change the face of the world through their speech.The great prophetic work of the Lord Jesus Christ will be accomplished by those He has raised upfor global mission.So, from this perspective, both Israel and the greater Israel moved from priest to king to prophet.And so do we.When we are children, or job is to be priest-like. We are to have wide open ears to hear the wordsof our fathers and to obey them in detail. When we mature into adult life, we are ready to becomekings, ruling wisely in our homes and our communities by means of loving sacrificial service withour hands, bleeding for those we are called by God to command. And finally, we turn hoaryheaded. We are called and enabled to pour forth wise speech. This Spirit-empowered analysis andcorrective to our culture is the tool by which God brings a new reality into existence. We movefrom being sons to fathers to grand-fathers.4
